Since this set envelops itself in the same delicious packaging material as '07 Heritage (my first post, I believe), I couldn't help from picking a few packs of these up.

Let's tear in

BOINNNNNNG!

Top to Bottom:5 Troy Tulowitzki (Off to a good start.)36 Brett Carroll (This guy's mug is no day at the beach. I wonder if he's related to Jamey Carroll, the ex-Rockie, now-Indian, who's in the running for the ugliest current baseball player.)38 Nick GorneaultDD2 Dynamic Duos Joba Chamberlain & Phil Hughes (Sweet! An insert Joba!)170 Justin Upton123 Rick Vandenhurk

Now that that's over, let's discuss how ugly Jamey Carroll is. The first thing that comes to mind is "Andy-Richter-with-his-face-caught-in-a-face-smooshing-vice." From there it moves into Munchkin territory, though I'm not quite sure why. Maybe I just get the feeling in the back of my mind that with every at bat he's going to offer someone a membership in the Lollipop Guild. Or maybe he looked normal before, but a chance mishap at an amusement park caricature artist booth somehow switched his actual face with the airbrushed freak version, something like the premise of the John Woo's film Face/Off.
